Vacation rentals with a kayak in Tamil Nadu

Our stay was incredibly peaceful, perfect for anyone looking to unwind. The property is located just a short walk from a private-like beach, Additionally, it’s only 400 meters from Marari main beach, making it convenient to explore.

Thakurs cottage was a amazing place that we all enjoyed, Suresh the caretaker was super helpful and made us delicious homely meals. Would recommend to everyone looking for a staycation!

My stay at this homestay was amazing. The place was huge, clean, and beautifully decorated. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind with amazing view. The host, Fabin went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, and I really appreciated his kindness. He stayed in touch with us throughout and gave us great tips on exploring the area. He was highly responsive. I left feeling happy and refreshed, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay with a wonderful host.

Loved my stay here at the Little Chembuka. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to India. The room was very comfortable, the location was terrific just by the water and the food & service were fantastic. Jes and his team personally cook up 5* meals every day for you and all the ingredients are fresh. I also did the sunrise tour and food tour which were great. I got taken to some really local and non-touristy places I would never have found on my own. The reviews here really live up to the hype. If you are looking for somewhere great to stay in the backwaters this is it!

Good stay, nice views, decent rooms. Swimming pool was in maintenance so was not available for full stay. Overall decent stay. Thanks!

We loved our stay on the Charlotte houseboat. The staff were so kind and helpful, they made us feel right at home! The houseboat was private which was so lovely and we really enjoyed the food. The space was also really comfortable !

Had a wonderful stay ! The location is serene and right by the beautiful backwaters, which made for a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere. The property is private and quiet — ideal if you're looking to unwind away from the crowds. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, and the bathroom was also spotless with good water pressure and all the necessary amenities. Everything felt comfortable and thoughtfully arranged. Bicycles were provided, which was a lovely touch — we enjoyed riding around the area and exploring the surroundings at our own pace. The place is also easily accessible by road, so getting there wasn’t an issue at all. The kitchen comes with all the basic utensils you’d need for cooking, but do keep in mind that condiments and spices aren't provided. So if you plan to cook, it’s a good idea to bring your own ingredients. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway!

Thank you very much for our stunning and luxurious experience on your beautiful houseboat! This was the trip of a lifetime where we could just relax and soak up the magical reflections and views. Our Chef Ajith is an absolute culinary artist and put so much love and unique delicious flavors into his very personal cuisine. Ajith and our captain were wonderfully attentive and kind. Thank you for your warm welcome and for all the seamless communication with our booking and itinerary.

a perfect place for our office anniversary trip. we had a great time with such a great ambience and the availability of outdoor sports made it a fun day. the sunset cruise was beautiful and special thanks to Sebin the caretaker for carrying one of our colleagues, who had a cast on his leg, to and from the boat. overall highly recommend this place for a fun, intimate gathering.
